Someone said: How does that answer the question of transferring a current Straight Talk number to another CARRIER? That means leaving Straight Talk altogether, not transferring the current phone number to another phone with Straight Talk...

I have a tmobile sim and changed to straight talk when my contract was up. I put in the st. talk sim I bought..and the phone works..but terribly! Dropped calls..cannot hear on many calls as fades in and out and constantly drops the gps signals! My 3g flickers on and off all day long..every few seconds. Walmart said I may need a straight talk phone to fix this..yet the advertise using any unlocked gsm type phone! No way!!

Someone said: Even if you have a ST sim, you still have to have an unlocked phone...I am using an ATT phone but it was unlocked and then I got a ST sim and it works perfectly....same with my last phone...however, who is the Carrier for Tmobile...if its not Sprint, then that might be your problem also...the girl at Walmart told me NOT to get a phone that was used on Verizon!! Hope this helps some.

Someone said: I know exactly how you feel. i had straight talk with att iphone 3 and it worked perfectly. then my friend bought me a tmobile samsung s3. I had to purchase the tmobile straight talk sim and the service was horrible. I was under the impression that using any phone with straight talk, I would be strictly on the straight talk (att) network. NOT! straight talk att sim works on att network and straight talk tmobile sim works on tmobile network. I ended up trading my tmobile samsung s3 for an att samsung s3 and it works perfectly.

You would need a new sim card to switch between phone companies due to the need for them to make money and the programing on the sim card. also the only way to get a new phone without changing service plans is to purchase the phone at full retail price.

It may not be unlocked. Does it ask for the unlock code when you put the sim card in? If so, you`ll need to call at&t to get the unlock code. Just explain that you bought it online with the impression that it was unlocked.

itmatterw2 said: Most carriers will not gsm unlock a phone if it is used and purchased off internet etc with out the previouse owner calling in with the imei number to verify theor info and to have the phone serial number listed under ur name

itmatterw2 said: Yes verizon phones r compatible with straight talk u can actually check imei or imeid numbers of other carriers phojes to make sure they will work.with straight talk and given if ur in the same area as when u orginally activated straight talk it shld work.off the towers there however it maynot give signal off other networks towers but keep in mind if tracfones work then irs shld in as well since tje phone its self is a product of tracfone all phones have hidden menus in them that carriers dont want us to know about and in the hidden menus lots of things can be changed to unlock different areas of ur phone and done with put rooting iti
